TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I'd appreciate some recommendations for software to create online
tutorials that will run under Microsoft Windows.
I'm looking for something that I can use to create tutorials similar to
those that come with the Microsoft Office packages (Word, Excel, etc.).
I want to be able to include graphics, text, and simple annimation. I
don't need sound or video capability. If possible, the tuturial should
be able to run from with the Windows Help system, as well as standalone,
but this isn't a requirement.
Ease of use is a more important consideration than price.
You can post replies here or email me directly at the address in my sig.
If I get enough replies, I'll post a summary to the list.
Regards,
Keith
